Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

The Packers introduced Matt LaFleur as their new head coach during a news conference Wednesday at Lambeau Field.

We'll start with Pete Dougherty's column on the challenge LaFleur could face getting buy-in from Aaron Rodgers, particularly given that at age 39 he's only four years older than his veteran quarterback.

Pete writes:

LaFleur’s age and inexperience could cut either way. At 39 he’s only four years older than Rodgers, which means they came of age at about the same time. Their cultural frame of reference will be similar. They’ll speak the same language, so to speak. That could help a lot with their communication and chemistry.

LaFleur also comes from an offensive system — Kyle Shanahan’s and Sean McVay’s — that surely has caught Rodgers’ eye, just as it has the rest of the NFL. That has to excite the quarterback. A new, young head coach is likely to bring a hunger that Rodgers might find appealing, too.

But LaFleur’s age also means Rodgers’ new boss isn’t that much older than he is. Rodgers actually has been in the NFL longer — LaFleur entered the NFL three years after Rodgers, and in his one season as a play caller, last year at Tennessee, he finished No. 27 in points and No. 25 in yards. So he doesn’t command the instant respect from a longtime star that an older, more accomplished coach might. There’s the real possibility that Rodgers will think, “What can this guy teach me?”

LaFleur’s history of working with quarterbacks isn’t the only reason he was hired, but it was pretty much a prerequisite. https://t.co/8UyrvBD1QR

Former Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he plans to sit out the 2019 season after the Jets chose Adam Gase over him for their head-coaching job:

With the #Jets job off the table, Mike McCarthy told me he’s sitting out this season — and his wife and kids started cheering at dinner when he told them. “Family excited about dad at home for 2019. That’s all that matters as we both know.” He’ll prepare and be ready for 2020.

Former Packers interim coach Joe Philbin reportedly has been granted permission to interview for a Vikings job:

Joe Philbin has been granted permission by the #Packers to interview for the offensive line job with the #Vikings. Philbin spent 10 yrs. in GB, including 2018 as OC for 12 games and interim HC for four games. Minn looking for permanent replacement for the late Tony Sparano.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken reportedly was the runner-up for both the Packers and Jets jobs:

One guy who's helped himself: ex-Bucs OC Todd Monken. Was runner-up for the Jets and Packers jobs, and I'm told he crushed the interviews. One source said he came off as an "Alpha" in that setting. (Also interviewed in Cincy FYI)

Could former Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers resurface in Arizona?

Dom Capers one of the names that’s been kicked around in Arizona. And elsewhere, frankly. It would mirror the Rams’ blueprint of Wade Phillips serving as a veteran presence for Sean McVay. https://t.co/sXSDtzY6WV
